An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Granted, 19th-century proverb writers were talking about the fruit, but Tim Cook helped give new meaning to the adage with the release of the very first Apple Watch. In fact, I'd argue that when he hands the reins to John Ternus in September, it won't be iPhones, […]
Oppo's Find X9 Ultra offers something that no other new phone has for three long years: a 10x telephoto lens. In an attempt to win the photography front of the war between the various Ultra flagships, Oppo has turned to a trick last employed by Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra. It's a better 10x lens than […]
A lawsuit from the Consumer Federation of America accuses Meta of misleading consumers about its efforts to combat scams advertisements on its platforms.
Venti iced coffee, light skim milk. That's what I get at Starbucks. It is what I have gotten at Starbucks every time I've been to Starbucks for as long as I can remember, other than a brief love affair with the caffe misto a few years ago. In person, my brain barely needs to activate […]

For almost two years, we've been developing Charlie, a coding agent that is autonomous, cloud-based, and focused primarily on TypeScript development. During that time, the explosion in growth and development of LLMs and agents has surpassed even our initially very bullish prognosis. When we started Charlie, we were one of the only teams we knew fully relying on agents to build all of our code. We all know how that has gone — the world has caught up, but working with agents hasn't been all kittens and rainbows, especially for fast moving teams.
The one thing we've noticed over the last 3 months is that the more you use agents, the more work they create. Dozens of pull requests means older code gets out of date quickly. Documentation drifts. Dependencies become stale. Developers are so focused on pushing out new code that this crucial work falls through the cracks. That's why we pivoted away from agents and invented what we think is the necessary next step for AI powered software development.
Today, we're introducing Daemons: a new product category built for teams dealing with operational drag from agent-created output. Named after the familiar background processes from Linux, Daemons are added to your codebase by adding an .md file to your repo, and run in a set-it-and-forget-it way that will make your lives easier and accelerate any project. For teams that use Claude, Codex, Cursor, Cline, or any other agent, we think you'll really enjoy what Daemons bring to the table.
